From the time my oldest daughter was sitting, we use to call her Tinker Belle because she would tinker with everything. She tried to make connections between objects and try to figure out how they work. At almost 4 years old, she is still quite the little engineer, and loves to build and learn. It was only natural that she would end up with toy building sets to foster that creativity. When my daughter received the Playskool ...

Give Dad A Time Out with Speyburn Whiskey!
Since the time I met him, my hubby has been quite the whiskey connoisseur. He's always loved his whiskey on the rocks at the end of a busy week, or as a social drink when out with friends. He's picky about his whiskey and you won't find him drinking just any amber-colored single malt whiskey. For every birthday or holiday, I know the one thing he enjoys is a nice bottle of high end whiskey. Unfortunately it is not always possible to spend top ...

Mickey Mouse Clubhouse: Minnie’s The Wizard of Dizz (Giveaway)
Do your kids love Mickey Mouse Clubhouse as much as my kids do? This is one of the popular shows around here that entertain both, my almost 4 year old and my 1 year old. Mickey Mouse never gets old around here, and it seems that every child has their favorite character. My preschooler's is, of course, Minnie Mouse. We had a Minnie Mouse birthday party for her two years ago and she still talks about the character that showed up to make her day ...
The Results are in: Cascade Platinum #MyPlatinum
It's been a week since I started using Cascade Platinum, and I also gave my mom a few packs to try out herself. In my last post, I told you that although she had a dishwasher, she preferred to hand wash her dishes because she felt that the dishwasher was not efficient in cleaning. She didn't like that she would have to prewash her dishes before they ended up in the dishwasher, and then if they did get clean, she was left with a film or ...
Jr. Space Explorer Inflatable Shuttle by Aeromax Toys Review
“Ground control to Major Tom...Take your protein pills and put your helmet on” I sang to my 4 year-old as he boarded his Jr. Space Explorer Inflatable Shuttle. This is our first summer with a pool so during the recent heat wave my son pretended we were on outer space missions while he floated around the pool aboard his space shuttle, feet dangling in the cool water. He often tells me that he wants to be an Astronaut when he grows up, so I knew ...
Check Out a New Twist On Learning With @cwists
My almost 4 year old is at an age where there are rewards and consequences for her behavior and actions. For the past few months, I found myself becoming increasingly frustrated with her behavior and her tantrums, but in the same token, I know she is a good kid. She is smart, caring, and loves those around her. Just don't say the word "no" to her. I know that NO child likes to hear the word no, I don't even like that word! But, she has to learn ...
Take Care Of Your Eyes – You Will Have Them All Your Life!
I never realized how important was until a friend of mine ended up with a horrible eye infection, which lead to a corneal transplant and loss of vision in one eye. It all happened so quick, and made me realize something I already knew but took for granted: we only have one set of eyes, and we need to take care of them from a young age. This is when I decided that when I had kids, I would ensure their eyes were well protected from UV exposure ...
